Louie-louehh
曲：Louie Louie - The Kingsmenlike andy, i have blogged my (hopefully) last entry on SHINJUKUPORE, to sort of close the chapter on the trip of our lives. i remember a month before i left, marcia from work gave me a really good piece of advice, while im there, to just enjoy whatever and however i can, because we will never have the same chance again, to leave a country with nothing holding us back, no work to bother about, no studies to wory about. and im glad i followed her advice, and gone and enjoyed myself thoroughly. pictures of the trip have been put up till day 7, but i will persevere and finish everything to day 10, and 11, when i get pictures from dy. pictures from day one can be linked from here: Tokyo Travels Day 1 am starting on a tuition mission soon, to try and tutor a sec 4 boy english - hope i will be able to work something out there. =) now that we're back in singapore, am trying to think how to not irritate people with sentences that start with, "When I was in Tokyo.." haha. okay, i just realised if im not gg to do that, i have absolutely nothing much of value to say. HEH. oh, one more thing: the song featured on top of the post is something the seattle mariners play in the seventh inning break. its quite cute. ask if you want it. =) velda the return-home entry.
曲：そばにいるね - 青山テルマ feat.SoulJaIM BACKK! =)) have been hearing this song on the streets and on tv in japan countless times, not too bad.. having a bit of missing japan here now, remembering the waking up in the hotel and walking down the streets of kabuki-cho.. thats why im eating my yakisoba snack right now, it really tastes like yakisoba, by the way. am really proud of SHINJUKUPORE, we did really diligently update it and everything. had a crap load of fun in tokyo, we went almost everywhere, that even japanese we met were surprised that we've been to more places than they have. met some great people, seen some great views, fulfilled some dreams. love everything i bought there.. dunno whether they really would be used here, but i love everything. but come to think of it, singapore isn't tt bad either. the food here rocks as well, and home is always the best, where you have the most comfortable bed, and the most comfortable room. when i saw the singapore flyer from the plane, i was rather touched. japan was a whirlwind of eleven days, and im glad i managed to enjoy it with some of my closest friends. =) velda. template change.
曲：Flavor Of Life (Ballad Version) - 宇多田ヒカルi have changed my blog template! just happened to visit blogskins.com today, and i saw this one as skin of the day for april 4th. loved the flowers and the colour scheme, so i decided, ah what the heck. pretty innit? =) happy. i changed it here and there to tweak it to my liking a little bit. like i need to justify my words. and i dont like georgia font. >_< so that's that. please do remember to check out SHINJUKUPORE when im in japan, because that's where you will see the four of us blogging. packing's mostly done! i. have. no. space. for. shopping. oh shat. my clothes take up the whole of the luggage alr! oh yeah, one more thing: results IS coming out on 8th april, that's next tuesday. please do believe me. dont be like darryn: velda____ あなたですから、 baseball on espn =) [results out on 8 apr]: eh results out 8 april 101% + 1%... gong gong dai dai.. inscribed donuts!: YA 101% + 1%... gong gong dai dai.. inscribed donuts!: april fool right ccb 101% + 1%... gong gong dai dai.. inscribed donuts!: LOL velda____ あなたですから、 baseball on espn =) [results out on 8 apr]: IM NOT LYING LAH *toooot* what an asshole. tsktsk. velda. dy's 21st.
曲：世界唯一的你 - 曹格april 3rd - andy's 21st! finally finally my dearest has reached adulthood. HAHA! lao le lao le. his birthday meant we're getting closer to japan as well. isnt april GREAT! =)) i brought him his present, and yay he liked it! im not gg to say what it was though. paiseh lah. and then we went to indulgz at tan quee lan for dinner. im so glad i chose the place, because we had a superb dinner, and on a tertiary students' promotion thingie as well, so it was really value for money.
loved the atmosphere when we first went stepped through the door, dimly lit, with flowers and candles and comfortable booths. whoopee! all the pictures were enhanced - we couldnt really take pictures without the flash as it was too dark, and we felt the flash was a bit distracting to other diners.
dy with his drink. he's probably happy because he ordered his favourite dish - chicken chicken chicken. cooked any way.
the soup course - it was tomato and basil, and rich enough to be appetising, but not too overpowering. even andy the non-tomato person liked it. yumm.
there, his chicken. if i remember correctly the full name of the dish was honey garlic chicken something, served with carrots and zucchinis and mash. it was really good, as in reallly. we were pleasantly surprised at the first taste. juicy, with the honey's sweetness cutting through, yet not losing the deliciousness of the chicken leg (that was deboned, by the way). five stars with additional mini stars. it was that good.
and my miso chicken mushroom linguine. miso is an interesting taste to get used to, but the pasta was great, it was the most pasta i have ever seen in any dish, by the way. i dunno why my secret garden served their pasta in such small portions - tsk tsk. not worth it. this was generous with their portion, and it was not too bad.
we finished everything! woohoo!
for dessert we had their specialty - the earl grey panna cotta. and i can safely say we weren't disappointed. both of us loooovee earl grey, and so the panna cotta infused with earl grey was just the thing, wow. i love love it. i would go back just to have that.
and it made me finish every single spoon! yummy yummy! i will go back for it u know. sompat. well, when i first read about the place on xiaxue's blog (okay, i sometimes do read it, for laughs) i was already kind of intrigued by the food they served. and i think i left feeling completely satisfied. and i love being a student. wahaha. i used to go to tan quee lan for dessert with chef calvin and billy, that was before it was refurbished and everything. now walking down that street you could smell lavender in the air coming from the spas, and see the dhl balloon rising in the air. =) happy birthday dy. velda. ps now im sickk! =( hope i freakin get well before japannn. oh pleaseee. too much chocolate i think. busyy.
曲：洋葱 - 楊宗纬if i continue procrastinating and not blog, my hatsuyuki will fade away into oblivion, and my avid readers (er, 2 or 3) will cry in despair that they no longer have any entertainment to speak of. okay. so whats up? andy's birthday is coming, and im proud to say i worked hard with limited resources. haha! the party at joaquim was fun, dy had a great time acting cute and all that, while yt, jess, huiqi and i comtemplated on some pressing social issues like do you face the door or the wall when you pee. japan is here, now, and though the sakura have all bloomed last thursday, perhaps the four of us can pick up the flowers on the floor when we go there. oh well, you win some you lose some. yt, dy and i slagged over the itinerary last weekend, and its really chock full of fun stuff we've been wanting and wanting to do. it has left me with the question: why do tour packages not bring you to the most fun stuff in tokyo. sure, you see mt fuji, tokyo tower, even go to tokyo disneyland, but what about the ONSEN THEME PARK? (dont bother abt the japanese words, just scroll down) or the SWEETS FOREST where they congregate all the best desserts in japan in one building for you to ooh and aah at? haha. im soo glad we're doing the trip by ourselves. these are the places ive heard mentioned in variety shows, and are places i definitely will not miss when im there. went for an interview with NTU's HSS new major division, linguistics and multilingual studies. it went well, everything was fun, i guess it was because i didnt have expectations gg in, and therefore came out with a lot of new knowledge, and frankly, a bit of excitement in the course. the professor who interviewed me was nice, she was full of enthusiasm about the course, and i could see she wanted to get started with this new batch of students =) it was a great feeling. busy busy busy nowadays.. graduation speech, interviews, and waiting for my stupid results to come out. heard we'll get it on apr 8, so *fingers crossed. mariners have won their first game of the season at home. WOOHOO! but ichiro was 0 for 3. =( love to put up some pictures, but fb just died on me. oh it works now. rahh.  velda. |
